However, the breakfast options could be improved, and I encountered some inconsistency in housekeeping services during my visit. Overall, a great place for families looking to explore the area.

    crowded breakfast area

    I had a great time here! The pool was fantastic with a whirlpool, and the gym was well equipped. The breakfast offered a delicious variety, but it could get a little crowded.

    buffet breakfast
    outdoor pool
    spotty wifi

    We had a lovely stay with our kids, enjoying the tasty buffet breakfast and the convenient laundry service. The kids loved splashing around in the outdoor pool and relaxing on the sun loungers. Only downside was the WiFi could be a bit spotty, but it didn't ruin our time at all! 😊

    clean room

    Perfect spot for couples

    I got a king-sized room that was clean and bigger than expected. Also, the staff was super friendly, especially at the front desk who really made us feel welcomed.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but I think the stay was still worth it.

    varied breakfast

    would love to stay here again

    This place has an awesome location, super close to the ferry and Fort Cornwallis. The Deluxe Double or Twin Room we had was big, clean and comfy. Breakfast was a feast, lots of options like fresh pastries and local dishes. The staff were super helpful like Mr Zuri who helped us get around town and Mr Bala, the taxi driver from the hotel who knew the best spots. The fitness center had everything we needed and the outdoor pool looked relaxing. Overall, great value!

    temperamental hot water
    no view

    The room was spacious and super clean, which I totally loved. The bathroom was big too, and I really enjoyed having a nice patio to chill and take in the view. The friendly staff made it even better. But just a heads up, the hot water was a bit temperamental during my stay.
